Pekr: 1-Mar-2012 | Those were just tries. Any of the above logo is imo better than what Graham originally posted. But I am not satisified either. Here's my take, what needs to be considered for the logo to actually "work": - you should define a brief - namely a description of qualities/characteristics of Red. What is Red, what sets it apart, what does it mean to you, what should it mean to ppl, what differentiates it from others, etc. - type of logo - only letters? Letters plus pictogram? Shoul pictogram only decorate logo, or is part of the name? Pictograms are often related to the business, but I am not sure, if you are easily able to relate pictogram to "red", as it is a name of the color. Nor am I sure, if pictogram would express a programming language. What I would suggest, would be either - pictogram contains "R", which also works as a filetype icon. Or pictogram expresses some quality - e.g. >> (REBOL/Red prompt), [R] block as one of the main concepts (series) - color scheme - not much options with something named Red, right? :-) - usability - you should think about the color scheme, and logo in various forms - normal, inverse, black&white, icon, letterhead, business card, ppt presentation, etc. You can look for inspiration to how I aproached 2zone media logo with the agency - http://www.xidys.com/pekr/2zone_media_logotypes/ | |
Pekr: 2-Mar-2012 | Doc - how goes your presentation for the Devcon? Interested in the Roadmap slide, which surely will be there :-) | |
Kaj: 28-Mar-2012 | We also have a presentation by the WebODF author every year :-) | |
Bas: 3-Apr-2012 | In this DocumentFreedomDay-2012-playlist you can also find the film of Kaj's presentation about Red bindings with WebODF, LibreOffice and PDF last week in the Royal Library in The Hague, the Netherlands. | |
DocKimbel: 15-Jun-2012 | Have a look at these ones: - http://static.red-lang.org/red-system-specs.html#section-1 - slides 7 to 13 in my SFD presentation: http://www.red-lang.org/2011/09/red-at-software-freedom-day-2011.html | |
Pekr: 26-Jul-2012 | Reichart - I suggest general About page, there is nice presentation Doc did for Reborcon - http://www.red-lang.org/p/about.html | |
PeterWood: 18-Aug-2012 | Robert, Nenad's intial plan was for the Red compiler to directly generate machine code. So his first presentation reflects that. It was a few months after the launch that he decided to generate Red/System code from the Red compiler. | |
Kaj: 15-Sep-2012 | I'll tell Bas to schedule a Red presentation at Software Freedom Day coming week | |
DocKimbel: 16-Sep-2012 | Kaj, great! I'm looking forward to watch the videos of your presentation. :-) | |
DocKimbel: 17-Sep-2012 | Arnold: Red source zip links are on github since the beginning. Maybe you can write such presentation/instruction section, submit it in a gist, put the link here and on the Red ML, discuss with others, and when it's ready send it to me so I can review and publish it. I need to advance on Red construction rapidly now, so the website is currently lower priority to me. | |
Kaj: 17-Sep-2012 | That would be great. Otherwise I don't have a presentation :-( | |
Kaj: 18-Sep-2012 | So it's going to be a traditional Red/System presentation, with little Red and contexts | |
Bas: 31-Oct-2012 | Here are the two movies of the presentation "Red running on the Raspberry Pi" done by Kaj during the first Hardware Freedom Day 2012 at the TkkrLab Hackerspace Enschede on saturday the sixth of october | |
DocKimbel: 2-Nov-2012 | Jerry: symbol! datatype is not reachable for Red users, it's an internal feature. I might also add series! and context! datatypes, it will be for internal use only too. You can see the types hierarchy at page 22 of this presentation: http://static.red-lang.org/Red-SFD2011-45mn.pdf (the types in italic are internal types, not accessible for Red programming). | |
DocKimbel: 21-Nov-2012 | Does this mean no GUI or just gui done in different way? See all the presentation slides for Red, a native GUI system will be provided. Also a web server with a new web framework will be part of Red stack, so modern style web apps will be supported. The GUI will probably be done in different way than R3 underneath, maybe a gob!-like datatype will be a good match, but such implementation detail is not known until implementation starts. Also, it is possible to extract R3 GUI code, wrap it in a shared library and plug it in Red (but I won't be the one doing that and maintaining such wrapper). | |
Arnold: 24-Nov-2012 | I have to wait to start programming my Raspberry Pi until I actually get it from Sinterklaas. After that I can try to test Red on it. I watched your presentation on programming in Red on the Raspberry Pi. No Syllable yet? WHat Linux did you use on the Rasp again Kaj? | |
Gregg: 30-Nov-2012 | Docs are always a hard question. I have always appreciated the docs that Carl and others spent time and care creating; the old Core manual appeals to me. Wikis are good for many things, though I seem to lose or confuse wiki logins more than other accounts, and their presentation rarely impresses me. It's an easy way to make things open for contributions though. | |
Pekr: 30-Nov-2012 | So - it might seem, that I contradict what Doc wants. I think I don't do so. He wants to be native on those above platform. And that makes sense. But - are those above platforms done in GTK? Enlightenment? Look at Microsfot - I just yesterday was watching their 5 hours of SharePoint plus Office 2013 presentation - most of their new stuff is becoming - HTML5. They are even scratching Silverlight for the typical desktop ... | |
AdrianS: 2-Dec-2012 | I don't know how it stands up to "modern" standars wrt interactive documentation, but I know that Gigaspaces won some kind of award for the organization/presentation of their developer documentation - this was a few years ago when I was investigating the technology. http://wiki.gigaspaces.com/wiki/display/XAP91/XAP+9.1+Documentation+Home | |
Arnold: 29-Jan-2013 | The Rde presentation shows the use of the binary Red. In it shows how to compile to get a cgi and a dynamic library. Are these also implemented in the current compile scripts? In that case that holds a good argument to update the Redcompiler.r script. It needs some work anyhow I noticed, it is rather location dependent atm. | |
Arnold: 30-Jan-2013 | That it is a target I can see now I have viewed the presentation a second time. Do you have a faint idea of a timeline when various stages of Red could become part of the real world? So version 4 in april and the first binary Red in 2015? | |
DocKimbel: 5-Feb-2013 | Last week Red presentation in The Netherlands, remastered by HostileFork: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjPKj0_HBTY | |
Arnold: 5-Feb-2013 | Bas is still couching the presentation together :) | |
DocKimbel: 9-Jun-2013 | Arnold: the devcon in July will suck up a lot of my coding time, as I need to prepare the presentation and that's something I'm very slow at. | |
GrahamC: 9-Jun-2013 | What's your presentation going to be one? | |
Arnold: 9-Jun-2013 | Very slow in making presentations? http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=presenter.r Well I know all about that, making a decent presentation takes a lot of time. | |
Bo: 31-Jul-2013 | Kaj made a big breakthrough today on the commercial project we are using Red to develop. That means we are close to getting paid. In turn, that means that Doc is close to getting as big a donation as we can afford for creating Red and helping us develop the functionality we needed in Red. And if we can successfully market the product, Doc will be getting a donation for each one sold. We are doing a presentation of the product on August 19th to people in the Computer-Aided Design industry toward that goal. | |

Kaj: 20-Sep-2012 | Bas published the videos of my Red presentation on Software Freedom Day at the Science Park in Amsterdam: | |
Arnold: 12-Nov-2012 | MaxV, the Prezi way of presentation is cool indeed. Only problem for me to use it is that you need to be online when viewing. Been hoping this woul dbe possible using REBOL itself. Btw can you point me to the code of the example with the moving road? | |
Geomol: 14-Nov-2012 | My game, Stunt Ace, has been released to iOS (iPhone, which also works on iPad). Stunt Ace is a retro type game. REBOL was used in the development process to make a prototype and for the level editor. I also used the REBOL DRAW dialect to create the logo, icon and presentation graphics. Stunt Ace can be found on Apple's App Store. The Android version can be found on Google Play. Homepage: http://niclasen.name/stuntace.html Stunt Ace was made using: - Deluxe Paint on an Amiga - GIMP - Waldorf Pulse analogue synthesizer - TimewARP 2600 analogue soft synth - Roland A-90 keyboard - A Mac - A PC - REBOL - In-house software Have fun! | |
Geomol: 27-Nov-2012 | I released a camera app for iPhone today. The DRAW dialect of REBOL was used for all interface graphics. Also the presentation graphics was made using DRAW (except the actual photos, which were taken using the app). See: http://niclasen.name/gcam.html I like the results of the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 smartphone images. It's hard to see, they're made with DRAW and not just photos. GCam is waiting for review at Apple and will be available on the App Store typically within a week from now. | |

DocKimbel: 20-Sep-2012 | Thank you for your presentation Kaj! I've enjoyed it, but I guess I'm too involved to be objective. ;-) | |
MaxV: 12-Nov-2012 | Arnold, you can downlad the Prezi presentation as a presentation, but you need internet for youtube videos. http://prezi.com/xyuhedfy0wmu/rebol/ | |
NickA: 22-Jan-2013 | Thanks Scot - I'm putting together a presentation to introduce this text, so that would be really helpful! | |
DideC: 1-Mar-2013 | @NickA: About enhanced r3 chat, have a look to %wchat.r in the %OpenMe/ folder of this Altme world. Basically its %chat.r but it act as a proxy between the Devbase server and the browser. The goal is that the browser replace the CLI interface : not typing command in CLI but cliking link in the browser. Its just a start. There is some work to do to handle POST request and then allow posting. + enhancing HTML presentation. | |
Arnold: 6-Jun-2013 | now you're talking maxim! Presentation stuff ;) | |
Group: Rebol School ... REBOL School [web-public] | ||
Arnold: 19-May-2012 | Another thing, I want to make an 'application' using REBOL that plays an mp3, an mp3 with a story for kids and I want to display the pictures from the book depending on maybe a timer(file) so the pictures are displayed acoording to the storyline. This also could be a helping aid for making presentations. I do not want to binary save my mp3 in the source of the application or in any other rebol-script so I just want to use the mp3 file and not convert it. Furthermore I do not want an external app to be started unless it can be done under the hood and/or it can be controlled by my app because the presentation could be paused by the user. Any ideas where and how to start such script. | |

Scot: 28-Feb-2013 | The approach needs to provide tools so easy you can layout an app as easily as making a powerpoint presentation, but with the power underneath to do absolutely anything. | |
Scot: 28-Feb-2013 | In a classroom, imagine if the "powerpoint" allowed students to connect their smart phones to the presentation and control aspects of a weather simulation, or control a point on a Cartesian coordinate plane. The trick is to make this so easy to do that teachers can do it like they make power points. |

Group: Dialects ... Questions about how to create dialects [web-public] | ||
Geomol: 31-Oct-2006 | As mentioned, you can parse in two different ways in REBOL: string parsing and block parsing. Recently (after using REBOL for years!!! Yes, you always keep discovering new things in REBOL.), I start to think about the two different ways of parsing, before I make a dialect. It's rather crucial, which way you choose, creating a dialect. String parsing is good for dialects, where you allow the user to type almost anything ... where you give lots of freedom. Block parsing is good, when you want the rules to be more narrow ... when you want the user to think in terms of works and symbols. Latest I made the math dialect for NicomDoc. I choose string parsing giving lots of freedom. The dialect ended up specifying presentation more than semantic. The dielect is good to produce the formulas, just like you want them visualized. If (when?) I would make a math dialect, where I would put weight on the semantic (the meaning of the mathematical symbols), I would choose block parsing. | |

Pekr: 30-Jan-2005 | css may well try to isolate presentation layer, but imo it fails. You have box aproach, but let's relate it to VID area - the text in css terms will hide, if it is longer than the visible area, but - where is scroll-bar? Correct me if I am wrong, but you simply need 'if and other good functions to program it exactly the way you want ... | |
François: 8-Sep-2005 | Pekr, I agree with you with pure cgi. Coding like that is from old days. But I think that Magic! (and FastMagic!) is a kind of mix between tamplate and rebol code. You can achieve good interaction with your web designer: have a look at the code of Rebol Directory: All rhtml pages starts with rebol codes, and then come the html. In the html section , there is not a single piece of application logic, except those specific for presentation (<rebol:if...>, etc...) So the idea is: your web designer provides you with the html and you just add the pure rebol code, without polluting the html sections. The design might change, but not the content, therfore, you web designer can modifier the rhtml, and the rebol codeur has nothing to do. | |

It will be good if 'virtual audience' can have access to the speakers papers or presentation maybe the night or even as they are presenting. That way.. we can listen and digest from the presentation on hand... | |
Pekr: 18-Jul-2005 | Robert - +1 for topic 1? Is that your topic? :-) So you want to have presentation about possible advantage of open-sourcing Rebol? Or am I missing something? | |
Robert: 18-Jul-2005 | The title doesn't state "advantage of open-sourcing Rebol", the presentation will about if it's mandatory to get commercial success. | |
Ashley: 18-Jul-2005 | Gabriele, is it too late to add a presentation slot for me? (I thought I already had one (- ) Topic would be: Building & selling REBOL-based solutions - theory and practice. or if folks preferred: Building REBOL-based community projects - RebGUI case study. | |

Henrik: 11-Jan-2006 | pekr, of course all these things are already available for OSX and have been for a long time. One thing that kind of surprised me is how many apps surpass Windows equivalents in quality, simply because the underlying foundation with Cocoa is incredibly strong. You can tap into a lot of amazing functions and the OS itself can do things where Windows would need third party software to do the same. For example, look at Jaime's presentation from the REBOL conference. It was done in Keynote which is a presentation program made by Apple which makes Powerpoint look like a silly joke. It uses full 3D hardware acceleration and can apply pixel shader effects to the presentation through Core Image. By having a very strong set of video functions as well, presentations can be exported to a lot of different videoformats from DV to H264 or MPEG4, etc. in any size or framerate. You can also convert parts of it to a PDF document or a bitmap image. All this is possible, because OSX does this in Cocoa and is available at the developer's fingertips. This is also what made apps like iMovie possible, because they integrate into OSX. Often the wrong question to ask is "Does program X exist for OSX?", because the programs are different and often of much higher quality. A lot of programs don't even have Windows equivalents. The community reminds me a bit of what bedroom programmers did during the old days of the Amiga, when they used the hardware and made beautiful demos. There are a lot of small, free apps available that do 2-3 things. | |
Chris: 21-Jun-2006 | Ajax is a clear combination of four components protocol (http), data/interface (html), presentation (css) and behaviour (js). You can create a functional web app with the first two. Then you can optimise by modifying behaviour. Then (or from the beginning) make it look good with CSS. | |
PeterWood: 4-Dec-2006 | With an architecture where the presentation code is written purely in code, and not a combination of code and markup, and is delivered as a single simple download to run in a real language runtime, then things can be simplified significantly. | |

Pekr: 30-Apr-2007 | Content of Carl's presentation was updated: Introducing REBOL 3.0 by Carl Sassenrath (The content will be spread in probably more than one session) Opening and a historical note. What makes a system popular? Is it the language, the platform, or the applications? The bigger picture: the virtual OS. Moving beyond conventional OS models. Being a latform. The core of modern applications - it's not what you think. The motivation for R3. The guiding theme. Portablity and extensibility - the R3 open foundation. Overview of R3 features. Environments - embedding REBOL. Building your own version of REBOL - within a standard. Plugins - extending REBOL. The IO device model - how to create a device. New datatypes. The Module architecture. Tasks, threads, and more. The new graphics system. All new port design. New debugging methods. New object tricks. DB access nd indexed files. IPv6 discussion. Compatibility - taming the lion. What's next? When and where can you get a copy? The goal of DevBase and DocBase. | |

james_nak: 11-Dec-2008 | I was thinking that and certainly calling from Skype is possible. I just received an email from Nick Antonaccio who offered his hosted flash media server. Along with that we has videoconference/presentation applications. | |
NickA: 11-Dec-2008 | Hi James, I've got 20 rooms set up already that I use to do live online music lessons on a daily basis. I think the existing format of those rooms could work very well as they stand. I'll create a special room just for Rebol Devcon. I'd like to show you what I've got, to see if it'd work for your needs. The audio/video conference software works on PC/Mac/Linux, in any browser that has a fairly recent version of the flash plugin installed (I believe version 6 onward will work - 8+ will definitely work). Aside from flash, there's no installation required to use the system - just go to the designated web page. It will allow anyone in the room to take turns jumping onto the mic/camera to speak (admin can ban unwanted users), there's a text chat, and I've got a really simple way of sharing screen shots already installed in the existing room setup. It should take only a minute or 2 to show presenters how it works... I've being doing daily live online music lessons as a part of my commercial music lesson business for the past 4.5 years, and this system is the most stable and simple that I'm aware of. It'll work through just about any router/firewall configuration, and it's dead simple to use - visitors just go the url, and they'll hear and see the speaker. If they want to be seen on camera and speak, they just need to have a web cam and microphone installed and working. If flash is running in the browser, it'll work immediately, no download or installs to do. There's a video that I send to students which explains a little about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sx5qI0GWig The online lesson page for my business, which has basic info about web cams, microphones, and headphones, is here: http://rockfactory.us/OnlineLessons.html Please let me know if you have any questions :) > If someone will email me personally, I can start putting together some > suggestions about how to organize and manage the presentation.

[unknown: 5]: 17-Dec-2008 | I thought it was adequate for a presentation. | |
NickA: 19-Dec-2008 | The next step should probably be organizing presentation times and topics. I've only seen the names posted on the mailing list (http://www.rebol.org/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlCWZC). | |
NickA: 19-Dec-2008 | Amacleod, as it stands, I've taken the screen grab app out of the presentation setup. It was a Windows only solution that seemed to add potential complexity. It appears that the best solution is to prepare screen shots beforehand, and upload the images to the file area. Of course, screen shots could also be uploaded to that same area in real time... If any presenter needs help with that part of the presentation, or if that solution will not work for anyone, please let me know. I also have a whiteboard app installed at http://rockfactory.us/rooms/other/livepresenter/LivePresenter-admin.htm http://rockfactory.us/rooms/other/livepresenter/LivePresenter-viewer.htm . I haven't used that application much more than just to try that it's installed properly, but I'm happy to add it to the setup if anyone wants to use it for the presentation. | |
NickA: 20-Dec-2008 | Now is the time for presenters to please let me know of plans to present. I'm reserving a special amount of bandwidth for the event, so want to get as close an estimate as possible. Even a few hours of constantly streaming video, to many viewers, ends up being hundreds of gigs, so I'm hoping to estimate the presentation times as closely as possible. Thanks! | |
NickA: 20-Dec-2008 | I'm completely open to whatever the community decides to do :) It's probably not such a bad thing to keep this first presentation smallish, and to consider it a learning experience. One thing that's clear so far is that it'd be good to decide on one or several people to manage operations officially, and to create a web site to organize future events. For the time being, this event does appear to be shaping up well, for the short matter of days we've spent contemplating it :) There are 19 live attendees signed up at http://rockfactory.us/events/devcon.html . We appear to have a viable way to make the presentation, and I'm looking forward to seeing anyone who has the time and motivation to speak about REBOL related topics :) | |
NickA: 23-Dec-2008 | I do need a final list, by Wednesday, of all presenters, along with an estimate of the amount of time required for each presentation. If any presenter has a particular requirement for when in the order their presentation needs to take place, please let me know. This must to be finalized now so that I can reserve necessary bandwitdh for the event. Thanks! | |
Reichart: 27-Dec-2008 | Chris, if you click on my presentation, all my information is in there. Photo, Bio, Topic, and Description. | |
Sunanda: 28-Dec-2008 | Thanks to everyone who made DevCon2008 a reality. **** A couple of follow-up points: -- How about doing an eDevCon twice a year, whether or not there is a physical one too. -- And plenty more notice so some Devolunteers can help with with set-up and promotion. -- Chris's presentation would have seriously benefited from some sort of screen reader / whiteboard system....A camera pointing at the screen was not ideal. | |
Chris: 28-Dec-2008 | May have slipped off on the 'Live' group, but Nick suggested a screen-capture-as-a-camera-source product for Linux and Windows (though I used a Mac for my presentation...) | |
BrianH: 31-Dec-2008 | With any luck the next online DevCon will have more preparation time. I look forward to your presentation, Terry :) |
